Honestly Rick, how do you achieve the finishes on your models? The mottle is seriously good, but the overall finish is something to die for!

Thanks Stephen, very kind comments! As for the finish I have begun to use MRP Acrylic Lacquers, and when using Tamiya Acrylics I thin them with Mr. Leveling Thinner. MLT for short. Iwata Eclipse Airbrush is used and really sprays nicely. The MRP is probably the smoothest drying paint I have ever used! I am also using some More modern layering techniques along with some Old Verlinden weathering Idea. I am still learning every time I paint a new model!
